I'm not saying it isn't a big deal! I'm as miserable about it as everyone else!! I had plans for Christmas with my relatives, and that's all ruined now because of all this!
But I don't see the point in crying over it if it's not going to fix things. It feels like a waste of time and energy, in my opinion.
... your sister has a lot of questionable hobbies. It doesn't reflect well on her.
I'm not asking people why they're crying over their food? That's just weird. I don't blame people for freaking out over it, but I'm not about to pry into how they cope with it. I mean, that's their business, as long as they're not doing something dangerous, like eating a bag of chili peppers or something.
I mean, I guess that's true, but-- we were going to go out to dim sum together? And I haven't really had it since I moved here, so it was going to be good to share it with them, and Well, it's not just presents. It's the experience too. I can't explain it well.
... I thought she was the nice twin? According to her, anyway.
[Because Kotone doesn't seem too bad so far...? And Mio IS Mio, so--]
...do you think a bag of chili peppers is edible without taste??? i don't wanna try it, but now i'm curious
still!!! you can spend time with your family without food too, right?? doesn't mean you love each other any less well, i assume, i guess i don't actually know your family
...no, definitely not!!!! she's the evil twin i'm the nice one by like... a lot don't let her lie to you!!
Absolutely not. Never mind the damage it can do to your stomach lining eating all of that at once, but it's not like heat is gone now that taste is. That's a chemical reaction, not a flavor one.
It was more sharing an experience from back home with them then anything else. I just met one of my cousins last month on the app, and she moved here from Hong Kong earlier this year, so I thought it'd be... familiar. I guess. I don't know her well enough to say I love her or anything, though. [Although he is already kind of fond of Li-Na, so that's... a start...] I suppose we can still do something else together, but it won't quite be the same. I already spend enough time with my other cousin as it is.
[HE WANTS TO BELIEVE THIS....... but this feels so much like one of those puzzles where one person only tells the truth and one only tells lies and HE CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT...]
Let me ask a hypothetical question then-- if you saw someone being endangered by a bunch of wild animals, what would you do first? Rescue them, or record them?
Not in that sense. There's a component in peppers, called capsicum, that fight against certain receptors in your mouth, that causes the pain and the heat we associate with them. It's why you shouldn't rub your eyes after cutting them up, either.
[You can almost hear him grumbling on his end of the screen, still stuck on his initial plans for Christmas but not wanting to admit she had some good ideas, too.]
Well, what about you and Mio? Is that something you usually do with her for the holidays?
[Though SPEAK OF THE DEVIL, goddammit, he's never going to trust a word out of her mouth ever again except he probably will because he's hopeless like that]
... I see.
You really are the nicer twin, then. I'm sorry for having any initial doubts in that matter.
No, some others do too. Ignoring preservatives and other weird stuff that winds up in junk food, there's menthol in mint that gives it that cooling effect, too. Those are just a few, but there's others, I'm sure.
[Sorry, Kotone, you stumbled into a conversation with a HUGE NERD....]
Mio's mentioned something to that effect before too, but-- it's strange that you two aren't close. Is it because of her behavior? Because I wouldn't entirely blame you for that, but sisters usually don't care about that sort of thing, don't they?

i think that was the point of chemistry class...
watch a movie!!!
play a game!!!
explore the city!!!
those are all really good ways to bond
call for help???
i'm not dumb enough to try and fight off wild animals alone, and i dunno what the point would be of recording that

i guess it's a good thing other food doesn't have chemicals, then
we're not really that close???
but i guess sometimes
like if we do something all together as a family and stuff
i told you!!!
i'd say she's like my evil twin, but i guess it's actually true in this case...
